You have probably seen the press coverage about Snapchat’s new feature and the potential risks for young users but what will you do about it?

As ever it is important that you understand the features of Snapchat yourselves and that you discuss the risks with your daughters. The most important thing is to make sure that the settings your daughter is using will keep her safe. It is easy to change the settings and this advice from NSPCC is very clear.

Additionally the NSPCC’s Share Aware campaign is a very useful resource for parents who want to know more about the most popular apps currently available.
